Kiwi Formula One driver Liam Lawson is frustrated after a gearbox problem disrupts his Barcelona weekend. Multiple reports say Lawson’s practice session ends prematurely when his car develops a mechanical issue, described as a broken gearbox. One outlet reports that Lawson had been running strongly and was comfortably inside the top 10 in both sessions before the problem occurred, suggesting his pace had been competitive prior to the failure. Another outlet adds that the issue dogged him again, testing his patience as he deals with repeated gearbox-related problems. Together, the accounts indicate that the malfunction occurs during practice and prevents him from continuing or building further running. The reports focus on the immediate impact on his sessions rather than specifying any changes to his team’s setup or the cause of the mechanical failure. At present, the coverage centers on the fact that Lawson’s progress in Barcelona practice is wiped out by the gearbox issue, limiting his opportunity to prepare for the rest of the event.
